BTW, this is the first time I've gotten crap for R'ing TFM!

I'm sorry you feel that I "gave you crap".

crypt works in Perl 5.6 from both ActiveState and IndigoStar. I'd be quite surprised if ActiveState decided to remove this support in newer versions, but I haven't checked.

You say "crypt()" failed. If it failed with "Not enough arguments for crypt", then you didn't prove anything. It used to fail under Win32 Perl with something like "crypt not implemented due to excessive paranoia". How does it fail now?

I'm not saying you're not right, but I don't expect to get depricated for relaying information that is in relatively current documentation.

I'm not sure what you mean by "depricated". All I did was reply with a correction to the information based on information that I had.
